So at shoots, we’re always dreaming of Russian food.Ex-‘Mighty Ducks’ star claims family friend ‘outright’ stole shuttered Puerto Rico resort, sues for $80M I also worked with Carine for my Givenchy jeans campaign she’s really creative and smart. So it was a cool combination of everything - it had some age and class. But it was definitely fun because she brought this legendary photographer from the Nineties, Sante D’Orazio, and she brought Yeezy, which is very cool and trendy, and she brought her favorite girls. I was really excited that Carine was doing something like that. I love the collection, it’s super cool and trendy. They asked me to be part of the shoot and I didn’t think twice. She is always loyal to her girls, and she decided that I was part of her girls. I.S.: A couple months ago I got a call from my agency that Carine Roitfeld requested me to be part of her CR Fashion Book. WWD: Tell us a bit about your CR Girls shoot modeling Yeezy Season 2. Now you can buy the magazine with the glasses and you can basically experience being on set with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models. I did two trips for them and one of them was virtual reality. This year they also did a virtual reality video. I shot with a shark, I shot with a stingray - it was a lot of cool and extreme pictures. This year they brought me to Bora Bora and it was my first time in French Polynesia. I.S.: Believe it or not I haven’t seen any pictures yet. WWD: What can you tell us about this year’s shoot? My journey with them really showed me how you can be a better woman - how you can experience your body in a better way and be more confident. I’ve learned a lot about being more confident with my body, because Sports Illustrated always hires girls who love their bodies, their curves, and it’s really important to love your body. I was like, “Is this me?” It’s embarrassing.Įvery time you learn something. Not that long ago I went on YouTube and I was looking at my videos, like 2007 videos I did for Sports Illustrated, and it was hilarious. I feel like I grew up with them - they hired me back in 2007 and I didn’t really speak English back then. It changes every year - they take you to different locations every year. Today I woke up and I was like, “Wow this is my 10th year!” It’s kind of amazing. How has the experience changed over the years? WWD: This is your 10th appearance in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue. I haven’t trained now for six, seven years. I.S.: Unfortunately no, because in New York there isn’t a lot of space. Twenty is pretty late to start for modeling nowadays girls are starting when they are 15. I said, “Well I can’t go to Paris because I have to stay to study.” And he convinced me and I went to Paris, and that was my first year of modeling. My manager came and discovered me and he asked if I wanted to go to Paris to start modeling and I was 20. My sister was always interested in beauty stuff, she wanted to know how to do makeup and hair, so she asked me to join her to go to a beauty school, and there was a model school next door. I played piano and when my father passed away when I was 14 it was really hard for my mom to raise my sister and me by herself, so she sent me and my sister to go study marketing. I.S.: When I was a kid I went to music school because my mom was a musician. WWD: How did you get your start in modeling? I try to think of my age as a positive thing. I think I didn’t realize that I was turning 30 - I was away and when I got back to New York I found all these beautiful flowers in my apartment and I was like, “Why did people send me flowers?” And I was then like, “Oh, because it was my 30th birthday.” Definitely with age I’ve become more wise. I didn’t really celebrate it - I guess I don’t like birthdays! I didn’t do anything special. I.S.: In general I’m not a big fan of birthdays. WWD: You just turned 30 in January how did you celebrate?
